Twinkling Watermelon Episode 8 Recap
Sparkling Watermelon episode 8 starts with Eun-gyeol waking up in the year 2023. He meets his father and brother as they share a meal together. However, when his mother enters the room, it is not Cheong-ah but the older version of Se-kyung instead. The sight confuses him and he screams in frustration. But soon he wakes up and realises that it is a nightmare.
Eun-gyeol finds himself in a room that he cannot recognise and suddenly two men enter the room. He realises that one of them is the organiser of the music competition who took him home following the accident that could be fatal to Eun-gyeol. They make him sign a contract that states he will not sue them for compensation. As he is about to leave the house, he meets Cheong-ah and realises that she is his mother. When he tries to follow her, the security guard stops him.
On the other hand, Se-kyung finds Yi-chan on the road unconscious after Cheong-ah manages to inform her. He wakes up in the hospital and recovers from his injury soon after. His bandmates promise to help him out in the search for Eun-gyeol. Se-kyung suddenly encounters Eun-gyeol and tricks him into trying spicy food but he refuses to do so and leaves the scene.
When En-gyeol tries to talk to Cheong-ah, the owner’s son pushes him in an attempt to stop him and ends up hurting him again. Eun-gyeol is put in the guest room as he is unconscious. However, he hears screams outside the room and realises that Cheong-ah is being abused by his stepmother and stepsister.
Cheong-ah’s biological father arrives at the scene and Eun-gyeol agrees to have a private conversation with him. Instead of monetary compensation, Eun-gyeol proposes the offer to teach Cheong-ah sign language instead. He starts staying at the mansion along with Cheong-ah in the guest room and becomes her sign language tutor.
Eun-gyeol also starts to go to school along with Cheong-ah. However, Se-kyung tries to talk to him but she ignores her completely. So she reveals Eun-gyeol’s whereabouts to Yi-chan and wears her mother’s uniform to enter the school’s premises. She finally manages to meet up with him and tells him that Yi-chan is also at the school grounds.
Suddenly, Yi-chan along with his bandmates starts to play a song at the playground. As soon as Eun-gyeol reaches the playground Yi-chan apologises to him and asks him to join the band again. However, Eun-gyeol refuses and confesses that he cannot join the band because he is also in love with Se-kyung. The episode ends on that note.
